Most of the gear I install to run the Internet is made in Asia. A lot of the firmware is written in other countries as well. And technical advances and new standards are also not "Made in the USA" so improvements in the Internet aren't "USA TECH". There was never any patent protection on "The Internet" and even were there, it has long expired. It belongs to the word at large now, as it should.
This is a cultural result of lingering agrarian traditions, though poverty itself can be a contributing factor, in that these traditions still make sense if kids are the best way to ensure food security and health care into old age, or a source of free labor in mid-life. Providing social services could help make those traditions look sillier faster.
Yeah that's the crux of the problem... while some of the zero-footprint hippy types are doing some good in exploring the feasibility of options/technology, the actual impact economically of personal usage reduction is just to make fossil fuels cheaper for the group of idiots who do not care.
On national levels, the impact is better as it promotes markets for sustainable technologies, but in a competitive trade environment unilateral action can incur economic penalties versus idiot nations that don't care, who get to take advantage of the resulting cheaper fossil fuels. America's always been one of the biggest piles of idiots on the face of the planet, but at least willing to do some amont of self-improvement, until now.
Fortunately, the sustainable and bridge energy sectors have been boosted enough that market forces are driving their adoption almost as much as policy these days. Wonder what WV's reaction will be when coal jobs fail to return under Trump because natural gas continues to eat their lunch... oh right, they'll be too busy hating on whoever gets scapegoated next to remember how he promised what he simply could not deliver.
We might be able to adapt to climate change itself, but the biomes do not have that capability, and we cannot adapt to a failed biome... well we might be able to pull off a small populaion, but your descendents' odds of being in that population are pretty small, and that small population's ability to make technological progress will be rather limited.
You would know this if you researched this yourself. But that takes thinking.
You keep telling yourself you are a super critical thinking guru as you learn the hard way these next four years.
If you had critical thinking skills enough to find your way around in a grocery store, you'd have realized I wasn't talking about "Hillaryclintonemail.com". You're obviously a retard.
The whole Clinton email thing was never anything more than nitpicking for political gain. You have not proved a damn thing.
Your link does not address the email between her & Colin Powell at all which kind of blows away any lack of intent
There's just no "there" there, since she forwarded pertinent records onto the government servers. You can point to the few that got missed, but at that point, you no longer have a reasonable case for intent since that is plausibly (and quite probably) unintentional oversight.
It all balances out to her trying to get shit done in an environment of over-classification and decrepit obsolete government computer systems, then having her every action nitpicked by congresscritters abusing their positions to create a political witch hunt. And the trump campaign succeeding in pimping you idiots into a lather about it.
Not that it matters now. You now have carte blanche to ruin this country. And I will not do shut to help you fix it afterwards. You can sleep in your manure.
Maybe I dunno. Could be Jews today and Muslims come next election. Or lizard people with Ted Cruz as the overlord. Whatever they can be made to believe.
While there is a precedent there, it is also widely considered to be constitutional for states to do as these 11 have. In fact, the state legislature could even do so without holding a vote in the state, but that would be politically unwise. So if more states deem it to be in their citizen's interest to do so, the EC could become mostly meaningless, barring faithless electors, and this would be within the spirit of the EC since it was a compact entered into based on EC votes.
On the one hand, candidates would be under less pressure to campaign based on geography. On the other hand, we have such a great deal of demographic information, attracting individual demographics might actually make campaigns more issue based.
Were this agreement to come to pass, though, I expect we'd all be pretty frustrated waiting for the slow states to finish counting.
No, plenty of us knew Hillary was a bad candidate -- better than Trump, and not as bad as the media and the opposition made her out to be, but despite much of the baggage being verifiable bunk, it still weighed a lot.
BTW, we don't like much of the media either. Especially TV. They did plenty to keep the conversation off real issues. Especially going apeshit over the ridiculous email thing. Hillary could do a whole speech on issues and they'd literally only turn the sound up when "oh, she's going t hit trump on the Access Hollywood tape now."
Sure, the newspaper endorsements came down on our side (editorial boards tend to have people of good sense on them) but they never counted for crap.
I'm sure there will be a Trumpmeter like this, but I'm also sure that since a brietbart news site told them politifact was biased and run by Jews, they will ignore it.
I'm no fan of Big Dog's proclivities either, nor do I think the revelations about Trump should have mattered given they came so late that by then everyone should have had other reasons for disqualifying him. However, buying into those things being at all equivalent, especially since Hillary wasn't the candidate, not bill, showing how weak minded the electorate is.
Oh wait, new standards are now in play. I can be non-PC now since that's OK for a president. Trump voters were retarded to buy into that.
Slashdot Mirror
Nitwit.
The article is so non-newsworthy
Apparently it is newsworthy because apparently a lot of voters had no clue what they were doing.
Yeah. I'm going to walk outside and turn my back on D.C. come inauguration.
Apparently unlike us, in a few months. Sad.

Boy, you sure bought it hook line and sinker. Prepare for an extremely disappointing 4 years.
The idiocy is pretty astounding, isn't it?
specially in the poorer countries

Flame away ..... three, two, one ....
You really need to study. And eat a bag of dicks.
We might be able to adapt to climate change itself, but the biomes do not have that capability, and we cannot adapt to a failed biome... well we might be able to pull off a small populaion, but your descendents' odds of being in that population are pretty small, and that small population's ability to make technological progress will be rather limited.
Is that why you leftists love to tax people's work?
We can't just tax property due to too many rich assholes complaining, and we need to get shit done nobody wants to pay for.
They won't notice. Their eyes will be on whatever new devil brietbart manfactures to distract them.
Those people can swap property with democrats stranded in dumbfuckistan and move there.
I for one would support my state joining in California's new union. So friggin tired of teh stupid.
All that "baggage being verifiable bunk" is still likely to get her some jail time...
Keep dreaming.
I hope you get cancer without health insurance you ugly zealot.

Why didn't they charge her?

No, the problem is that ya'll were too busy reading about how the moon landing was faked to bother to find out how much of a con man Trump is.
